MUSIC....CONCERT .... CALENDAR LISTING

DAVID TORN TO PERFORM LIVE CONCERT AT STAR'S END GATHERING

(Philadelphia, PA) Acclaimed Guitarist David Torn will perform a solo
concert of
"Aggressive Space Music" at the Star's End Gathering on Saturday, March
7th, 1998.

Much in demand as a sideman, Torn has lent his snakey lead lines and
complex textures to recordings as diverse as K.D.Lang's "Smoke", Ryuichi
Sakamoto's new orchestral work "Dischord:Untitled 01", David Sylvian's
"Secrets of the Beehive", Jan Garbarek's "It's OK to Listen to the Gray
Voice" and the Grammy Award winning "Mark Isham".  Isham, along with film
composers Carter Burwell, Graeme Revell, and Patrick O'Hearn have employed
Torn's unique soundscapes in many movie soundtracks, including "The Big
Lebowski", "Romeo is Bleeding", "Short Cuts" and "Reversal of Fortune".

David Torn has recorded five solo albums: Best Laid Plans (ECM), Cloud
About Mercury (ECM), Door X (Windham Hill), Tripping Over God (CMP) and
What Means Solid Traveler? (CMP), which explore the terrain between rock,
jazz and mutated world music. In both 1994 and 1997 he was voted "Best
Experimental Guitarist" in Guitar Player magazine's Reader's Poll. The
Star's End Gathering performance will be his first in Philadelphia in over
ten years and will explore textures, soundscapes and atmospheres.  He calls
it "aggressive space music...something you might expect to hear at an
illbient rave, rather than a guitar concert, although I will be playing
guitar."

Part of WXPN's member month, and sponsored by Star's End, the station's
22-year-old radio program of space music, the concert will be held from
8:00pm-10:30pm in the University of Pennsylvania's Houston Hall Auditorium
at 3417 Spruce Street. Tickets at the door are $15 or $10 with a WXPN
MemberCard. For information, call 1-800-565-WXPN or (215) 573-3340.

Concert Preview: The March 1st broadcast of Star's End will feature David
Torn's music and an interview recorded in New York City at the American
premier of Ryuichi Sakamoto's "Dischord:Untitled 01".

Star's End can be heard every Saturday night/Sunday morning from
1:00am-6:00am on: 88.5fm WXPN Philadelphia; 88.1fm WXPH Harrisburg; 90.5fm
Worton/Baltimore;
and 104.9fm Allentown.
